From the 90 mile beach to the high country, East Gippsland contains some of the most rugged and isolated areas in Victoria.

Ambulance Victoria has acquired four all-wheel-drive vehicles to help reach these remote locations.

The ambulances are worth over $120,000 each and they're capable of driving on logging tracks and on beaches.

They're also stocked with the latest medical equipment including defibrillators, spine and neck collars, oxygen, medical drugs and radio communications.

A custom built cabin also allows paramedics to have quick access to medical supplies while they are treating a patient on the ambulance stretcher.

The team from Ambulance Victoria's Lakes Entrance depot have tested their vehicle on the beach at Lakes Entrance.

In summer, ambulances are often required at Lakes Entrance to help people who may have gotten into trouble while swimming.

Acting Team Manager at the Ambulance Victoria in Lakes Entrance, Dave Jones, says the vehicles are a great addition to the fleet of ambulances in East Gippsland.

"It will certainly provide increased ability to access more safely patients who are out on the 90 mile beach and we'll be able to get into some of the High Country and into the hills up around Nowa Nowa, Bruthen and out as far as Dargo, Talbotville and Crooked River."
